Tuesday’s interleague series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers has been postponed because of rain and snow, the Twins announced. Tuesday’s game will be made up Thursday at 6:10 p.m. as part of a day-night doubleheader with the defending National League West champions.

Thursday’s 12:10 p.m. game remains as scheduled.

The Twins also were rained out Sunday. That game against Detroit will be made up later this season when the Tigers return to Target Field, either from Aug. 22-24 or Sept. 15-17.

Fans holding tickets to Tuesday’s game may use those tickets for the rescheduled game at 6:10 p.m. on Thursday or exchange their tickets for a future Twins regular-season game in 2014.

Unused tickets may be exchanged only at the Target Field ticket office at Target Place off 7th Street.

Tickets for the postponed game are not eligible for refunds.

Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson, who last started on April 22 at Tampa Bay, remains the scheduled starter for Wednesday night against the Dodgers.

Toronto eventually pulled out a 124-110 victory, handing Minnesota its 13th straight loss at Air Canada Centre. “We just...

Members of the Missouri Tigers volleyball team are ready to have about 5,500 people rooting against them Friday night at 7:15 p.m. when they take on Minnesota’s Golden Gophers in the first round of the NCAA volleyball Minneapolis regional. “We’ve competed against a Big Ten team (Purdue, whom 27-5 Missouri defeated to advance to the regional semifinal) and that wasn’t a...

Unafraid of introducing his players to advanced statistics, Gophers coach Richard Pitino routinely tells his squad where they stand among college basketball’s top teams in stats not included in a box score. He prints out charts that combine traditional and advanced statistics, discusses them with players at practice and has an assistant track them during games to help with adjustments....
